This template is used for referencing maps published by Google, Inc. through their Google Maps service.
This template can also be set to emulate Citation Style 2 (CS2) style.
Note that unlike paper maps, Google offers dynamic sizing at variable scales. Major citation style guides omit a map scale in that situation so this template does not render any scale output.

Usage
{{Google maps|url= |title= |accessdate=16 January 2026}}
Parameters
- url – the URL for the map in question
- title – a "subtitle" for the map. The link text will appear as "<title>" if "title" is used; otherwise, it will be the page name.
- accessdate – the full retrieval date.
- link – set to "no" to unlink the publisher.
- mode – set to "cs2" to use CS2 output
Examples
Normal usage with automatic inclusion of page title (i.e. "Google maps", which is taken from the template's full page title "Template:Google maps/doc"):
{{Google maps |url= http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=from:+E%20Market%20St/RT-308%20@41.926860,%20-73.912580+to:+RT-308%20@41.970313,%20-73.821096 |accessdate= 16 January 2026}}
generates this:
- Google (16 January 2026). "Google maps" (Map). Google Maps. Google. Retrieved 16 January 2026.
Using the optional "title=" parameter:
{{Google maps |url= http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=from:+E%20Market%20St/RT-308%20@41.926860,%20-73.912580+to:+RT-308%20@41.970313,%20-73.821096 |title= Driving directions to RT-308 |accessdate= 16 January 2026 }}
generates this:
- Google (16 January 2026). "Driving directions to RT-308" (Map). Google Maps. Google. Retrieved 16 January 2026.
